I used to hang out down at Jack's Pool Hall
|
You go down there and don't do nothin' at all
|
If you wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back
|
If you wanted to shot or somethin' you went and talked to Jack
|
If you had a little money you was a grade A fool
|
There was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool
|
|
Rack 'em up
|
Till' the day he was dead that all they ever said
|
Rack 'em up
|
|
He didn't own a TV set, didn't own a car
|
He ate what whatever Jack was makin' back behind the bar
|
They said he had a wife, but she left him in tears
|
He hadn't been home in twenty five years
|
|
Rack 'em up
|
|
They came from all over thinkin' they we're pretty hot
|
Put all their money on the table, wanna play the best we got
|
Nine in the corner, five in the side
|
Take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride
|
I tell him listen son, ain't no disaster
|
There ain't no shame in being beat by a master
|
